One of the best-selling music artists of all time, Katy Perry, has announced that her The Lifetimes Tour will come to the UK in October 2025. The tour will feature a spectacular series of live shows, showcasing hits from her multi-million-selling albums.
The Lifetimes Tour will see the global pop superstar perform in cities across the UK, kicking off in Glasgow on October 7, at the OVO Hydro.
The tour will continue through to Manchester, Sheffield, Birmingham, and finally culminating with a date at London’s O2 Arena on October 13.
The UK leg of the tour comes after additional shows were added in Australia due to overwhelming demand, with the original June 2025 dates selling out.
Recently, three more shows were announced for Mexico in April 2025, after the first three sold out within an hour.
On returning to the UK for her first tour in over seven years Katy said: “I’m so incredibly chuffed to bring The Lifetimes Tour to the UK! I can’t wait to have a big sing along of all the songs you love and more! It’s going to be a giant dance party, and everyone’s invited!”
After performing her first UK show at Water Rats in Kings Cross in 2008 and later at London’s Scala that same year, Katy announces today that £1 from every ticket sold will be donated to Music Venue Trust, the UK charity dedicated to protecting, securing, and improving grassroots music venues across the country.
Every £1 received from this scheme will go directly into initiatives to support the UK grassroots music community, bringing more great new music to more towns and cities.
“I’m proud to donate £1 from every ticket on the UK leg of The Lifetimes Tour to Music Venue Trust so that venues like Water Rats and Scala, where I played my first UK shows, can continue to usher in the next generation of music talent” says Katy.
“We want to say a huge thank you to Katy and her team for stepping up to support grassroots music venues, artists and promoters. The contribution from these shows will keep venues open, get new and emerging artists out on tour, and enable promoters to bring the best in new music to our communities” says Mark Davyd, CEO Music Venue Trust.
